hello all, I am in the process of restoring a 79 suzuki rm400, first let me give you a little history about the bike, I bought it for 100.00 dollars the previous owner said that a friend of his came down on the shifter shaft real hard with his foot and bent it so that you can't shift it any more. over all the bike is in pretty good shape no rust at all on it, the front forks look AMAZING!!! no rock damage in them or anything so I decided that since I had to split the cases to replace the shifter shaft, I would like to do a restoration on this bike. is there anyone out there that is and or has restored a rm400?
and if so any tips would be appreciated! also do you guys think that I got a good deal on this bike for 100.00? and finally what would be the best paint to use on the entire bike like the motor, frame and exhaust???
thanks,
